I have over 30 years experience in fisheries ecology and natural resource management. I am currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Canberra and currently working for the Pacific Community where I lead the Fisheries and Ecosystem Monitoring and Analysis section within its tuna fisheries program. I have previously worked for the Victorian Government (Arthur Rylah Institute), Commonwealth Government (Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
